There have been times when Vincennes’ fame was equal to that of New York or Ipuisville In the financial world, and the State ‘bank of Indiana, at Vincennes, was one of three mother institutions in the country which paid specie on demand. It always thereafter attracted atten- tion. Vincennes at one time sold ex- change to New York for a premium.

But This Bird Likes Excitement and Refuses to Die. For Three Seasons Charmed Mallard Haw Successially Evaded One of Colorado's Beat Shots—End Not Yet in Sight. “I got another shot at him yester day, but the son~f-a-gun got away again,” said E. M. Gale, the candy man, to a Denver Post reporter. “Shot at who?” was the surprised rejoinder. “No who; it was an it, but I call it him—the lone mallard; didn’t 1 ever tell you about hin Never; tell me now. “Why, the lone mallard, the big duck that leads the charmed Hfe, comes to the luke on my Weld coun- ty ranch twice a year and teases me and flies away again.” “First 1 ever heard of him.” “Well, be still, and you'll hear some more. In the first place, he’s the big- gest duck I ever saw—biggest on earth, and I'll bet money on it. 1 first saw him three years ago—no, two and-a half years ago—it'll be three years next spring. He looked as big as a turkey, and really, I'll bet he'll weigh 12 pounds, and there's many a turkey that don’t weigh that.

Well, I had no sooner stood up than the lone mailard saw me and rose in a hurry. When he was about 20 feet up I let drive with my right barrel! He didn’t so much as flicker. Then I let him have the left, and 1 felt sure I hit him, but he just kept right on. I thought he would circle and come back, but he didn’t. His ticket seemed to be a through one, and his stop-over priv- ilege was limited. “I didn’t think about him till the anything more following fall, ATTENTION LADIES! -Hair Restorer.— All «0 are dersirous of having veauuful suit of hair, or if your heir is failing out, you should get vottie of Hairoline, better known + the Renowned Hair Restorer Uriental Complexion Cre m ao ures all shin diseases and makes heskin like velvet.

This time I got two more good shots et him, and I knocked a feather out of him, but that was all I could do with him. He didn’t wait for any more trouble, but pursued his way north. “Ever since that time, twice a year, that old duck comes quacking along, and I've shot and shot him till 1 know he must be half full of lead, but I ean’t bring him down.

The largest radish on record was raised by John J. Bray, of West Gloucester, Mass. Jt was grown from seed sent by the agricultural department. Mr. Bray’s radish is 23 inches in circumference, and weighs seven pou and one ounce. This far exceeds the Missouri radish recently mentioned. The latter weighed only five pounds. a i Killed by Her Pet Cow.

Ward was assisting Prof. Hillman, a professional aeronaut, who has exhibitions at Hoag park. Hillman’s balloon, a massive hot air | one, was being prepared for the aft- | ernoon exhibition, and Ward and oth- ers were assisting. Everything ready, the professor gave the word, | the balloon was released, and swift- | into the air with the pro- | fessor hanging to the parachute. | Ward started to get out of the way:| as the balloon was released, but his | left foot caught in one of the guy | ropes, and, to the horror of the sev- | eral thousand spectators, he was car- | ried into the air suspended head | downward. His weight held the bal- | loon on its side, in danger of an im- | mediate collapse and certain dexth | to both men. Hillman acted quickly. Ward dangled from the balloon about ten feet above the aeronaut, and be- yond his reach. If the balloon was brought to an upright position there was some chance for Ward, so, after a few words of advice as to how to secure himself and draw himself up- | right, Hillman released the parachute | when but 200 yeet in the air and came | safely to the ground.
